Politico Reports Most Dems Worried Biden Flagging Poll Numbers Will Lead to 'Thrashing at the Ballot Box' in 2022

Democrats on Capitol Hill are reportedly becoming increasingly worried that President Joe Biden’s cratering favorability ratings may lead to a bloodbath at the ballot box in 2022.
Multiple members acknowledged to Politico over the weekend that the poll numbers underscore a changing tide in American politics that the party needs to respond to — and fast. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) called the President’s numbers downright “scary.”
The new president has seen his ratings plummet in recent months as multiple crises — including the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the crisis at the southern border, and the struggling economy — continue to grip the country and voters place blame at the feet of Biden and the Democratic Party. That’s not even to mention the emergence of the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron, that has much of the world on edge.
